AntiRansome not compatible with firefox and firefox addon´s

Recommended Posts

i only wann inform that the latest beta is not compatible with firefox-settings and firefox-addons. With activated antiransomware no settingschance will be saved. Your software is blocking the changes in setting.

For example: i use group speeddial and wanna save some links in a group. first it looks fine but after close/open firefox all changes are gone - nothing saved. With disabled AntiRansomware everything works fine.

I dont know if the build in antiransomware in *only* the premium version of mbam has the same problem .

Hi @agi62 - Can you tell me exactly which settings in Firefox you are trying to save, but which do not save? I seem unable to reproduce this in Firefox, though we did reproduce similar behavior in Tor browser.

all settings, I have noticed that the file "prefs.js" is not saved while if I disable Anti-Ransomware, the file is correctly saved.
The strange thing is that Anti-Ransomware doesn't tell that it is stopping the file.

The same thing is for Thunderbird.

Sorry for my bad english

Hi. There must be something different and specific in your environment or use case, because when I try on my live machines and VMs, I have yet to see an issue saving changes to settings in Firefox. We'll keep trying.

That being said, as I mentioned, we were able to reproduce a similar issue in Tor browser, for which we have implemented and tested a fix for the next MBARW release.

Hi,

I don't know, I installed Windows 7 64 Ultimate in a new PC, the first time I installed MBARW, AVG Free and Firefox, nothing else, but in my old Windows 7 PC the issue is arrived recently, maybe a recently updating of firefox/thunderbird or MBARW?

Hi,
I am confused, now the only set that doesn't save yet is an additional component, "import export tools."
I have tried to insert the whole disk C: in the exclusions of MBARW but nothing doesn't change, instead if I disable the protection, the set is saved.

The mystery thickens him

We have released the next Component Update (CU) for Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta. One of the items fixed is the issue with the Tor browser I mentioned previously. While we were unable to reproduce the issue in Firefox, we have been able to reproduce a similar issue in Tor. That issue in Tor is now resolved in our testing. We believe it should also be resolved for you in Firefox.

You should receive the new CU 1.1.139 in the coming days. It's being served in a metered fashion.
